Challenges
The infographic was very text heavy in its initial form. I was given the allowance of 8pt for the body text which helped condense the content in a smaller footprint. However, some areas required redesigning in order to showcase important information first. Long sentences could then be condensed into small icons that denote the same meaning such as the calendar icons showing 'Ramadan 1' to 'Syawal 1' that informs readers of the duration of Zakat.
*Illustrations of islamic persons are by Pablo Stanley (available for free here).
The bright colours were chosen to combat printing issues with the newspaper material later on. Clear contrast between text and images had to be kept in mind for legibility reasons. Overall the design was purposeful in its use of hierarchy, colour and size contrast to communicate its core message to readers.
Special thanks to Amni and Team for their clear communication and critical feedbacks through Zoom meetings despite the pandemic.
*The bidding for the second phase of the project was won by another party, some elements presented in my design were brought forward towards the final design.
